Please get in touch with us via message. HISTORY OF MASAI BEAD WORK The beaded ornaments represent Masai cultural values and traditions. The practice of bead work typically done by women, and it's considered their duty to learn bead work. Masai sandals can be worn both by men and women. East Africans use this type of sandal in cultural practices such as weddings, rituals and community events. While the Masai have been crafting jewelry for hundreds of years, they didn’t start using the tiny beads we’re now familiar with until the 19th century. Before, jewelry was made of local materials sourced from nature, including twigs, horn, and bone. To make beads, women used seeds or clay, which were then dyed to achieve a specific color. European traders later introduced colored glass beads from Italy. Eventually, the Czech Republic overtook Italy as the main manufacturer of glass beads: to this day, many fine jewelry pieces are still made from quality Czech glass beads. MEANING OF COLORS There are a number of different colors used in Masai bead work and each one holds a special meaning: Red signifies blood, bravery and unity. White represents health, peace and purity. Blue is the color of the sky and represents energy. Green is the color of grass, which signifies the land and production. Black represents the people and the struggle they must endure. Yellow symbolizes the sun, fertility and growth Orange represents warmth, generosity and friendship.
